At least it's not a stork...

What's out on the chimney?

Did you put that up there?

Look, it moved! It's alive!

Yes, you are seeing what I saw around dinner time this evening. Gerry glanced out the deck door and thought the chimney didn't look right. As you can see through the blinds, there was something unusual going on atop the chimney.

We opened the blinds...and that's not a statue, it is live and real.

About a week ago, this pair of Canada geese showed up on the new pond. Gerry has named them Abigail & Rufus (Rufus built our house, which is a Century home), and they have made themselves quite at home! Here they are in a more "natural" setting:

If you had shown only the picture of that goose on the roof, I would have been 100% conveinced it was a very unusual weather vane & NOT a living, breathing creature! Isn't it amazing, how he happened upon that exact spot? Beautiful, beautiful gift of nature, and I'm so glad you captured him on camera!

About Me

I’m an incredibly fortunate Baby Boomer. My life has been filled with joy, challenges, and learning opportunities. My three adult children, their spouses, my beautiful granddaughters, and my amusing pets all color my life. (Though no one is more colorful or amusing than my dear husband, Oldtimer!) My childhood was unusual and my parents unique (Lolo was an astrologer before most people knew what that was; Hawkshaw a WWII vet who lost both legs), which, combined with enough moves to put me in nine different schools in 12 years, gives a different perspective on life experiences.
In my spare time, I work in my "tree house" of sewing and art projects (now on the ground floor, but still amidst greenery and overlooking water), as well as my soap kitchen, where I make beautiful luxury soaps and lotions.
I like to work, love home decor projects, travel eagerly, embrace non-mainstream spirituality, and am grateful for *something* every single day.
